That's a great idea

[@Dimitri_gdr]

I think it almost won't change anything but who knows 🤔 Edit : wow I didn't expect 100 likes Double edit : I just realized we can do the physics to predict what would happen So I calculated that from a 5m drop it would take the ball -filled with air : 1.126s to hit the ground (with air resistance) -filled with helium : 1.128s to hit the ground (also with air resistance) making a difference of 2 milliseconds (absolutely insane) 😯

[@Bobal27]

So, for the science behind why a full ball bounces and a half-full ball doesn’t: water is incompressible. When you drop the half-full ball, all of the energy of the collision passes through the water, like a shockwave. It hits the air, which is very compressible, and that absorbs the energy and compresses nearly instantly. With the full ball, the energy has nowhere to dissipate (except for its brief moment of contact with the wooden table), and so the energy of the impact returns into the full ball, causing it to move in a different direction, or bounce. The only reason a ball filled with air (the normal ping-pong ball) can bounce is because the rigid plastic shape takes the brunt of the returned energy. That’s why bouncy balls are filled, with a hardened gelatin, to retain most of their energy. The water-filled ball is genuinely closer to a bouncy ball. It’s also the reason that a normal ping-pong ball will dent on a very hard impact, absorbing the energy, and stopping any bounce. Which brings me to my challenge idea (if you guys haven’t done it already, just found this channel): Play with a heavily dented ball, multiple dents. That should mess with bounce angles, and make for very interesting post-bounce mental corrections on its projected trajectory. Edit: I was right, went looking for it, found it from ten months ago. Now I have a playlist to catch up on before my next suggestion. Have a sub :)

[@0x04c11db7]

Water is incompressible. Everybody seems to repeat that over and over. How can something bounce if its not compressible? I guess all neutron stars are made of water because WATER IS INCOMPRESSIBLE!! It just is.

[@Bobal27]

@@0x04c11db7 Incompressible at a molecular level. The molecules, once bonded, refuse to change size and structure. All molecules bounce around in whatever they make up, just at a slower rate if it’s more dense, like a solid instead of a liquid. If you push on water, it moves away, rather than squishing. That’s why displacement exists. That being said, the statement “water is incompressible” is at least true in Earth physics. I have no idea what would happen to water in a black hole. There’s also no real way to find out. It’s an interesting thought, though.

[@exuberantraptor3178]

@@Bobal27 Bruh its not compressibility.. the reason is that the water movement inside the wall during impact absorbs what woudl be redirected into kinetic energy had there been no water. This changes the center of mass of the ball without needing the ball to move. When the ball is full of water, the center of mass is always at the center and does not move, that is why it bounces. This is the same reason why a half-full bottle of water does not flip easily, but a full one does. However, if you try to lay the bottle horizontally, the water spreads uniformily, which repositions the center of gravity, and the bottle will spin more easily.

[@franchstar1]

Half filling spheres with liquids causes maximum sloshing due to the amount of water and free space being equal, giving the maximum amount of water being given space to move. When liquids that flow like water get transported the rule is to either have things full or empty, to avoid sloshing.

[@AlexLoveBananas]

Terve! During the first lockdown with my flatmates we've created a new version of ping pong, called VING VONG, and it is quite amazing when you get used to it! You play with a normal table (we used a kitchen table), balls, rackets (we also used a round pizza recipe book), net (we used taped dvds) but it's a 2 vs 2, and, if possible, in a confined space, such a living room. The rules are quite unique: - Serve as usual - After the serve (=2 bounds), the receiving player has to pass the ball to his/her teammate directly (with no bounce). This latter hits the ball towards the opposite team's table. And the circle repeats itself after the bounce. - However, the pass to the teammate cannot cross the half table line (=the net line) or the game would become messy. The goal is to get as close as possible to the net with the pass to the teammate and smash or do an around the net or perfect roll. - If the ball bounces/rolls on walls, furniture, body parts ("involuntarily") and so on, is accepted and doesn't count as a pass, and the game continues. - The point is assigned only when the ball hits the floor or isn't moving anymore. - These rules and objects can be modified in order to improve the game. - For the other rules, borrow them from normal ping pong! You should try it!

Now science channels gotta find out why half filled ball didn't bounce but full water ball bounced

[@lakshithadissanayake2752]

I think the problem with the half filled ball is that when it hits the surface, the water inside it splashes everywhere and reduces the total resultant reaction upwards, and spend all the kinetic energy for water to go in various directions. But the water inside the fully filled one has nowhere to go and it transfers all the energy to go in the exact opposite direction of contact and bounces straight up.
